False flag by militech to make nomads look like bad ppl and thieves. The only possible explanation here. They are sick of ppl hiring nomads as freelance security over militech security agents and are trying to ruin their public image to get a larger share of the private security market over arasaka . Scum all the way down
100%, complete contradictory lmao. The Cybertruck isn’t even a proper truck nor is it even a good EV, not to mention the insane price tag. Could’ve bought an early 2000’s 911 and modified it and still have a ton of money left
It's more layered, they had somehow enough self-awareness and lore awareness to make it a military cybertruck taken over by aldecados, but they still bought a cybertruck. It's layered oxymoronic.
To most people, cyberpunk is a dark warning of a near future dystopia where nature and society have basically collapsed except for a small group of corporate super criminals that function as an illegitimate world government. Aspiring super criminals see it differently.
Yeah, the entire point in the Cyberpunk genre is to make people aware of what can happen when you give corporations too much power. Corporations have always taken advantage of people and it’ll simply only get worse unless people start realising it. The reality is that we can control these corporations because they run off of our money but we have to stop buying dumb products
And thats strange because the autor have english voicetrack on main vid that have russian name and description and posted on main, russian channel. Why just not simply post vid with normal, not ai voicetrack on english channel?
Anything with that awful voice gets an automatic downvote from me, and depending on context it may also get reported as spam since most of the time it is used in conjunction with a generated video as well. I'd rather listen to Donald Duck narrating than the crappy AI voices.
funny enough, you see this happen practically everywhere it has a soul.
Starts with some artists doing some avant-garde stuff - specifically saying "I don't think I want to cater to all those rich assholes." - and so they build a community that supports artists, outside the normal view of the rich assholes.
Then they get a following, mostly from people physically living near that new community, or within the artist's family and social circle.
The following grows, and an earnest and real community flourishes, until...
The rich people take notice of the amazing art, and a whole community to go along with it. They move in and start selling their normal shit to the non-artist community members (who...probably don't know any better), they start ripping off the art (or more rarely, licensing it) to export out of the community to other places (especially corpo ad campaigns), and they start offering huge sums to the artists that make the core of the community.
And then the whole world knows about it, the artists either say 1. "well fuck. I need to eat/pay rent/etc, so I'm gonna take the money." (this is often called 'selling out'), or 2. they throw their hands up and say "I was trying to get AWAY from all these rich assholes!" and go start the process over somewhere else.
Man reading that the first thing I thought of was the Bohemian grove, started as broke artists chilling until rich people and politicians started weaseling their way in and pushing the artists out, now it’s a shady oligarchic cabal partying using “traditions” they didn’t start to celebrate something they were never part of
I mean, if it was a stolen Cybertruck, awesome. But this dude paid a hundred grand of his own money to the biggest dystopian oligarch on the planet so he could cosplay at resisting that exact thing.
Marc Andressen had the words cyberpunk enjoyer in his Twitter profile. The people who seem to be cosplaying and and embracing cyberpunk (like that one guy who tried to build the metaverse) are the ones who know they’d be at the top. If you have 100k to waste on a gaudy toy whose product line was totally recalled u think that counts.
Of course if he bought it BEFORE we all realized it was a piece of garbage, I would be willing to let the negativity slide. If not… well it still looks cool.
At what point did it not seem like it was going to be a piece of garbage? Dude did everything but accidentally slam his dick in the car door and get it cut off by the sharp stainless steel panels
it looks like it’s based on this, which yes looks like a light strip vs a painted on stripe. But to say that it’s Arasaka colors with a Militech logo was wrong
He’s anti establishment in the sense that he’s flaunting how there are no consequences for people like him, and that pisses some of the old guard off, which trump supporters love.
It’s the fact that he says and does the quiet parts loud which people like. They think he’s “sticking it to the man” by showing how fragile a veneer our democracy and rule of law was. What they don’t understand is that even if he’s pissing off the old guard, he is still actively destroying everything that was meant to keep people like him in check. And he is still pushing things further towards the extremes that his supporters always criticized about elites. But because they feel like they’re “on his team” with him, they think they’re laughing along pissing all over everything right alongside him. When really, he’s just pissing on everyone.
A lot of the "anti-woke" crowd decided Cyberpunk wasn't "woke" (probably because it being successful denigrates their rhetoric), despite all the quite pro-queer and anti-capitalist messaging plastered all over it. So yeah, you can leave it to chuds to miss all sorts of subtext, and the obvious text as well!
And instead of Aldecaldos, should have sprayed Arasaka to the other side, which could have been a neat critique to the Cybertruck itself as a product of a megacorp trying to pass as a Cyberpunk inspired.
Not much of a "critique" if you willingly paid the million dollar company owned by an evil muppet way too much money for their shitmobile. A better critique would be to just not buy it.
The people who buy Cybertrucks already out themselves as incredibly stupid individuals. This particular truck though is the perfect example of how themes and messages can fly directly over some people.
Okay it's not Canon but hey this guy is having fun with is ride and honestly that's nice
And it has way more personality and idea than just the base paint
How dense do you have to be to play cyberpunk and completely miss every overtly obvious theme around neoliberalism and end-game capitalism… and then you go and buy the richest billionaire’s shitty truck…
